The problem I was trying to solve is to give some visual notification during upgrade. Stock firmware locked one led on. I do not have source for stock kernel module that does it, but I looked at U-boot and it looks like there's some code that controls those leds via mdio. I do not know what exactly they are doing - it might well be they just make link status stuck on. I couldn't find anything similar to this in linux kernel. -- Martynov Nikolay.
